Arrival ;

You've woken up in a decrepit bedroom, with one suitcase nearby. You're naked, and the suitcase is your only clothing source. It contains several pieces of clothing, but none of them are yours - and they all happen to be sexy detective clothes. A good example. There are a mix of types for both genders. There's a stuffed animal on the bed, one that matches your inner heart's want for species.

You're free to explore this hotel. As you do, nobody greets you. But what you find is that no matter what you try, there's some sort of barrier keeping you from leaving. It's not that the windows or doors are barred off, excepting doors leading to unlocked places. It's that if you try, an invisible barrier stops you.

Mastermind ;

Please put 'attn, mod npc' in your subject title if you need input from the mastermind.

A guy comes out in a baby mask, as many of you have gathered to figure out what's going on. You can see it in the icon. He's doing a little jig, a cute little dance. He's singing this song in acapella. Eventually, he trails off and stops, looking at the group silently.

And then he bows, but says nothing.

...

Well?

Assistant;

Please put 'attn, mod npc' in your subject title if you need input from a mastermind's assistant.

So. That night, in the ballroom, a woman descends from the ceiling, her tentacles waving slowly. She has a smirk on her face as she comes down.

"So, all you little darlings must be wondering what's happening. After all, our leader isn't the best at speaking. As you must know, you're trapped here. We want you to play a little mystery game of murder."

Her tentacles undulating, she looks for reactions.

Motive
Behold the Jabberwocky, as he eats your kind. Snicker snacker as the blade becomes drawn, drip drip drip as the blood falls from your loved ones. Wish to save them? Kill someone else first.

Murder;

Someone's been murdered. The death is terrible but it's time to investigate. Maybe you'll use the corkboard, or maybe you'll follow the bloody trail of evidence first. Whatever you decide, it's time to get cracking.

Trial;

It's time to put someone on trial. Could it be you? Lay out the evidence and see who you think's at fault. You're all gathered in the ballroom to be the judge and jury.

[The fact that he hears his name but doesn't feel it is...sadly familiar! But hear it he does, so he trots over with a serious look that's...somewhat at odds with the campy costume he's stuck with.]

You too, huh?

[Alastor, if he manages to catch Hermes before he perks up, looks like a combination of being miserable and being annoyed.]

Alastor! It's been a while! ...PleaseDon'tTellMe We'reStuckHere!

[The robot is fidgeting in place.]

Well, I can't say with any certainty, considering this building looks fragile enough to tear down without magic...but I don't have my powers. Can't even feel Lucifer backing me up.

ThenWeHaveTo BlastThoughTheWalls! I don't wanna be stuck in a cramped, boring place again!

[Wait, no Lucifer...?]

[Hermes blinks, then has a look of anger flash on his face as he holds a palm/boot toward a wall.]

[...Nothing.]

Damnit.

I think you just failed to do exactly that.

[Just sayin', infernal powers and all.]

So as tempting as it is to just find something heavy and start smashing...we at least need to try to figure out what happened to us. I'm not willing to risk losing my magic permanently this time.

[Hermes lets out a defeated sigh.]

Fine... Lead the way.
superstylishsquid: (Huh?)

[personal profile] superstylishsquid 2023-10-02 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, we made it out of one kidnapping already, right?

[He pats Hermes on top of the head.]

And this time, I remember how to be a team player from the start.

[Reaching high up there, huh?]

...Are Makima or Brain here? We may need them. They were the smartest ones out of everyone.

[He's tall! ...Okay, he just doesn't like having to give concessions to the fact that he's stuck on the ground, okay?]

Not that I've seen. I'd rather not have to be in close quarters with Makima again, anyway...puts me on edge, working with a Devil Hunter I don't trust.
